Reuben Alexander uses a mix of practical therapies to help people move through stress, anxiety and life changes. He combines simple, evidence-informed techniques so people can make small changes that add up. Reuben works in English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

He focuses on common difficulties like low mood, sleeping problems, coping with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and addictive behaviours. He also helps with attention challenges such as ADHD, anger, parenting strains, and problems with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Additional areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, family of origin issues, fatherhood matters, and questions about gender dysphoria. Reuben draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. In sessions he aims to make approaches straightforward and relevant to everyday life rather than full of jargon.

The work often combines practical exercises with time to talk through how things feel. He has four years' experience and holds NCPS as a credential. That experience has included supporting people facing trauma and abuse, eating concerns, gambling or drug and alcohol addiction, and difficulties with impulsivity and control.

Reuben helps people explore patterns that repeat and try new responses. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People access therapy through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Reuben commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports action towards values and meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical experiments to change them.

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy gives space for people to speak openly while the counsellor follows their lead and reflects what feels important. Together these approaches aim to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive; the therapist will work with each person to find the best fit for their needs and goals.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people talk face to face and use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit those who prefer typed conversation, and text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or when people want to reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
